Processor and memory:<\/strong>
\nIt has decent performance, the i3 5005u performs well. I use Photoshop, do video editing (it’s a bit slow on this but if you take your time you can do it), you can play not so demanding games, internet browsing etc.
\nIt only has 4 GB of ram, and at times you might hit the limit especially if you keep a LOT of tabs open in chrome like me and don’t shutdown the laptop for weeks, just put it to sleep. But it’s not that a big issue and only rarely.<\/p>\n

Display:
\n<\/strong>I bought it with the mat display in mind and I don’t regret. If you use your laptop on the road, in the open, in a coffee shop etc you will have sunlight on the screen at times, and the mat display performs great. When you watch movies, the colours are a bit faded compered with the glare displays but i can live with that. If you spend all the time with the laptop inside the house you are better with a glare display otherwise matt it’s the way to go.<\/p>\n

Ports:
\n<\/strong>I wish it didn’t had a VGA port as I don’t need one, I only use HDMI these days, but hey if you need it it’s there. It has one USB 3 port and 2 USB 2.0 and a card reader.
\nAs of connectivity you have an Ethernet RJ45 port as well as WiFi and Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

Storage:
\n<\/strong>It comes with a 500 GB HDD that I changed from the beginning with a Kingston 128 GB SSD. You can see a lot of improvement with this upgrade. I bought a HDD caddy for the 500 GB inside the laptop and I use it as an external HDD.
\nTo upgrade the HDD to SSD you have to remove all the back cover. Remove the bolts then use a small plastic card like a fidelity card from shops (don’t use your credit card as you might damage it) to unclip the plastic clips. I managed to break one, but it’s unnoticeable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Video:
\n<\/strong>It has on-board video card so don’t expect to much performance. I play Heroes of the storm with low settings all the time and it works fine.<\/p>\n

Keyboard and touch-pad:<\/strong>
\nThe keyboard it’s good, the arrow keys are a bit crammed and at times I hit the wrong arrow, but this key arrangement it’s quite common on laptops. The extra numpad that is usually found on 17 inch laptops it’s quite useful.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Battery:<\/strong>
\n41 Wh battery it’s not the best but it gives you around 3 hours of activity. After one years of use still goes as in the beginning.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:
\n<\/strong>Overall it’s an all around good laptop, with enough juice to get you thought most tasks (but you should upgrade the hdd with a ssd first).<\/p>\n
